Does the latest version of !Paint have "undo"?

How would you implement an "undo" function in a bitmap editor? You'd
have to copy the image after every operation or keep a record of what
each pixel was before you changed it. I can't see that it's feasible.

You should save your sprite frequently then if you make a mistake you
only have to reload the last version.

Oh dear, this just shows another total inadequacy of *some* RO software.

PaintShopPro for example can undo any number of steps (Depending of course
how many you've set in the configuration, though the default is reasonably
generous).

Dave, you're not seriously comparing !Paint to PaintShopPro. That's not
exactly fair. !Paint was never aimed at that level. PhotoDesk is more in
that league.

Undo would of course be useful, but the comparision with PainShopPro, is not
really fair I feel.
